In honor of this holiday, here are several ways in which you can celebrate all things bacon. As you will note, many of these ideas come from our Bacontine's Day celebrations. Again, could any non-vegetarian say having two days devoted to bacon is a bad thing?

1. Make bacon roses. Tell your loved ones "Happy National Bacon Day!" with a bouquet of the best-smelling flowers possible. Instructions are in the video below.

2. Go to the Keystone Regional Chili Cook Off. More than 50 cooks will be competing to have their chili named the best on Aug. 30 at City Island. It's all part of Kipona and bacon definitely has a part to play here. In fact, there will be a Kunzler Best Use of Bacon Contest. Sounds like a tasty way to celebrate National Bacon Day.

3. Eat pork belly. Specifically the kind served at Smoke BBQ in Lower Paxton Twp., which was featured on our list of 65 things to eat and drink in the midstate. The pork belly there has a jalapeño bacon glaze, which makes it Bacon Day appropriate.

4. Read about bacon."Bacon: A Love Story" has a title that covers how we feel about bacon pretty aptly. Learn all about bacon's history and pick up some nifty recipes by reading the book by Heather Lauer.

5. Eat a bacon bowl filled with scrambled eggs. It's everything you'd want in a breakfast sandwich - except for the bread. Instructions are in the video below.

6. Host a Bacon-thon. Kevin Bacon movies and television shows are a must-watch during Bacon Day. So watch his creepy television series "The Following," the dance flick "Footloose" or horror film "Hollow Man." Just want a superhero movie? Watch "X-Men: First Class." Historical film? "Frost/Nixon." Comedy? "Animal House." Animated family-friendly adventure? "Balto." Whatever mood you're in, there's a Bacon movie for you.

7. Listen to the Bacon Bros. You don't need to just watch Kevin Bacon, you can hear his musical stylings too. Catch his CD "Getting There" for his band The Bacon Bros, which also features his brother Michael Bacon.

8. Pair your bacon with beer. Bacon and beer are a heavenly combination. Here are our suggestions for what to pair with what:

8. Watch bacon frying. You can watch a 45-minute video on Youtube of bacon frying. Enjoy.
